Have a picture of a Thomas Bates circa 1920/30. On the back of the photo it says this: Thomas Bates, R.F.D. 8 So. Richmond, Dot Smith 2601 Holland St, So. Richmond, Virginia, Miss Lucille Th.ift If this sounds like any of your family I would be glad to send the picture to you or scan it and send it over the net.
